1990 Corona

Postby Chickenman » Thu May 29, 2003 11:42 am

Hey guys............I was awondering what you can do to a 3s-f engine(2.0 corona engine) and where I should start.........I don't wanna go overboard but I'm sick of my friends gti pulsar getting me at 160 (I don't do too bad till then) I'm also thinking bodykit as the car is reasonably straight and I did a concept picture on the comp and it looked phat, so if anyone has ever been foolish enough to do anything like this I would appreciate any help. :D

the 3SFE is the 'Economy' Head for the 3S 4cyl 2L engine..
You could always consider a 3SGE transplant.. :p

I put a k&n on today and I just got 5 metres of stainless pipe so I'm gonna do the cold air thing............looks like a transplant is the way to go though.
Thanks guys :)

Im not the one to quote it.. but theoretically its remove, replace :P
Theres a lot of similarities (its the same block).

Problems to me look likely to be in the electrical stuff, ECU etc...
Places that do engine replacements (dodgsons? with the whack as radio ad?) would be a good place to start?

if it's the same block can I just bolt the head on? (probably not the best idea but just curios)
